Acclaimed band Soundgarden, fresh off the first leg of its U.S. tour supporting its new album, “King Animal,” has announced a second leg of concert dates, including an appearance at 8 p.m. May 15 at the Palladium, 261 Main St.

Soundgarden rose to prominence in the ’90s, particularly with its 1994 album “Superunknown,” which featured the popular singles “Spoonman,” “Fell on Black Days” and “Black Hole Sun.” “King Animal” is the band’s first album in 15 years.

Tickets for the Palladium show are $59.50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the Palladium box office, Tickets.com and FYE locations.
